CITE DE L'ESPACE

With over 4,000 m² of exhibition space and 4 hectares of gardens, you can experience a total immersion in the heart of the space adventure. Here you can do more than just observe: you can experiment, feel and take off.

Admire life-size space treasures - the Ariane 5 rocket, the Mir station, an Apollo lunar module, an Orion Crew Module - and immerse yourself in the great epics that have marked the conquest of space.

As a family, let yourself be surprised, amazed and transported. And what if, this time, you were the astronaut?

● On-site activities
Experience a space mission
LuneXplorer propels you towards the Moon in an immersive experience that is unique in Europe. Feel the acceleration of lift-off, thrill to the moon landing and go behind the scenes of a mission inspired by the Artemis programme. A realistic 40-minute adventure that puts you right at the heart of space news.

Mission εpsilon
Immerse yourself in the daily life of an astronaut on board the ISS with the exhibition devoted to Sophie Adenot's mission. Scientific experiments, technological challenges, life in microgravity: you enter a real control centre.

Martian terrain - The rovers take to the stage
Sit down on a recreated Martian surface and watch life-size replicas of the Perseverance and Zhurong rovers and the Ingenuity helicopter. Find out how these robots survive the extreme temperatures and dust storms of the Red Planet.

IMAX® & Planetarium
On a giant screen, let yourself be carried away by Deep Sky, devoted to the James Webb telescope. Travel through galaxies and nebulae as if you were there.

At the planetarium, cross the galaxy faster than light before returning to Earth to learn how to recognise the constellations, guided live by an animator.
